Many vegetables are difficult to store well. If you live in a sheltered part of the country, some veg, including leeks, parsnips and carrots, can safely be left in the ground until you need them. If you need to harvest your veg, you will find that root vegetables store best.

There are times when it is necessary to move an established tree or shrub. Perhaps you are moving house and want to take a favourite tree with you, or you need to move a shrub into a different position. Younger trees and shrubs are generally easier to move than those that are fully mature.
